The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu, on Wednesday appealed to Nigerians to always pray for the victory of the party during the 2015 general elections and beyond.

``There is only one people-oriented party that always sees to the problems of the people and fulfils its promises to them.

Shakarau, who formally announced his decision to join the ruling party, described the APC as a party without a structure.
